WILL INFORM ROOSEVELT 1'ormal Announcement Delayed Till Aokl Keachcs Homo Aokl Sall9 Denying .Interviews Given Regarding Immigration. TOKIO, Jan. 7. While the selection of Baron Takahira, Japanese Ambassa dor to Italy, to succeed Viscount Aokl at Washington has not been officially announced, it is admitted at the For eign Office that the appointment has ieen decided upon. The Associated Press understands that instructions have been forwarded to the Japanese Charge d'Affalres at Washington to announce to the State Department the nomination of Baron Takahira. i The delay in making the appointment It probably due to the desire of the Japanese government to await the de parture of Ambassador Aokl from America. A OKI GOES HOME AT IAST Expresses Joy at Cordiality Shown During His Stay. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. Viscount Aokl, Japanese Ambassador to America, who has been recalled from Washing ton by his government, sailed for home at 10 o'clock today on the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria, accompanied by Vis countess Aokl and I. Wagoye, secretary of tho Embassy. The retiring Ambassador was closet ed at the Falrmount Hotel until short ly before sailing with Consul-General Chozo Kloke and Vice-Consul Matsu bara. The latter, it is undcrtsood, has been appointed Consul at Seattle. Vis count Aokl, before his departure, de clined to make any statement other than to express his appreciation of the cordial welcome and greeting given him in San Francisco. It was learned that the Ambassador, Just before leav ing the Falrmount Hotel, emphatically repudiated an interview contained in a local paper Saturday morning, and reaffirmed one of Sunday morning given to the Associated Press. He said: I have not discussed or made any statement upon the immigration ques tion or any other diplomatic matter since my departure from Washington, nli reports to the contrary notwith standing." Viscount Aokl was quoted as saying that his government would itself re strict emigration, and that the pas sage of an exclusion law would be re garded as offensive to the dignity of Japan. Secret Service Officers J. M. Nye, of New York: J. A. Sommers. of Wash ington, and H. B. Moffitt, of the local Secret Service office, and several de tectives from the local Police Depart ment, were in attendance upon the Ambassador until the Manchuria sailed. Many Japanese and several local Gov. urnment officials were at the dock, to see the Viscount and his party off. DF.XIES CRGIXG HINDU REVOLT Count Oknma Says His Kobe Speech Is Mistranslated. TOKIO.

The London publication put the Count in the position of urging India to -rise against Great Britain. Count Okuma and the Japanese For eign Office have been bombarded with cablegiams of inquiry from Paris, Ber lin, St. Petersburg and London, and re quests that the Count publicly repudi ate or confirm his remarks. In reply, Count Okuma said today: "In my Kobe speech, I did not use the words .that 'were put into my mouth. It is apparent that a mistrans lation of these remarks, has Just reached England. My views on the subject of trade with India, as well, as my friendliness to Great Britain, ought to be too well known to make it necessary for me publicly to repudiate the absurd construction which has been placed upon the remarks I made at Kobe. I have never entertained a thought which could be stretched into such a meaning. "India offers us a fine field for trade, and I urged my people openly and con siderably to develop that field in fair competition with friendliness with Great Britain. That is all."

The troubles of Augustus Heinze be gan with the bull campaign started by Otto Heinze & Co. and associates In the stock of the United Copper Com pany, which Heinze had organized and developed after his long fight with the Amalagamated Copper Company. The stock was selling about 60 when a mysterious selling was detected. Be lieving it to be an effort to raid the stock by short selling. Otto Heinze & Co. gave' unlimited buying orders to various brokers, believing that, when the time came, the bear, operators would be unable to cover their con tracts except at such prices as the Heinze's- dictated. Heavy selling of United Copper continued and then to purchase the stock offered Otto Heinze & Co. were forced to draw checks for large amounts to various brokers. When the source of the selling was as certained the H'einzes declared that they had been betrayed by friends who sold their holdings of United Copper in a high market. United Copper slumped and Gross & Kleeberg, stock brokers, suspended, declaring that Otto Heinze & Co. failed to take up the stock of the United Copper Company which had been bought for them. A crisis was provoked in the affairs of the Mercantile National Bank and the Clearing-house committee made an examination,' following which Heinze withdrew from the institution as an officer, but with his friends still main tained a stock control, which he had purchased several months before from Edwin Gould. There have been reports recently in the financial district that the Gould interests would again assume control of the Mercantile.
